Hello! I popped over from Stitched in Color, and was surprised to see that your blog is in Portuguese - one of my close friends just got back from visiting her family in Portugal. Beautiful painting - I love the colors. I have never tried painting with oil paint before (just watercolor), and the textures are fascinating.

Hi Beccy,I have never been to Portugal, but still have hopes of doing it.Oil painting is all about layers. The more layers you put on, the more pleasurable it gets and new colors come to life.You should really consider trying. Start with a small canvas, if you feel intimidated. And please let me know. I'd love to see your progress.

By the way, I hopped to your blog and I just love your boys. They seem to keep you pretty busy... in a good sense... he he
